Today In History - November 3

...2010, Alexa Chung revealed she was already worrying about wrinkles, despite only being 26 years old, and spoke of her time as a model. "Recently I've been getting paranoid about wrinkles. I haven't actually found any yet but every time I look in the mirror I search my forehead for the first signs," she said. On modelling she said: "Modelling taught me how important your brain and personality are to being happy. I was happier the minute I started doing TV work instead of modelling because I suddenly had an outlet for my opinions. I'd rather be told I was funny or clever than I looked nice."

...2010, Julien Macdonald spoke of his time working for Karl Lagerfeld. "He used to carry around an old-fashioned black fan and when you were being difficult he'd hit you with it," revealed the designer. "He'd taunt you then hit you with it - it was all done in a joking way and never done very hard, but I do remember it quite clearly. It was his alternative to a stick I suppose. Now Karl's signature is his silver jewellery but then it was these specially crafted fans. I'm quite glad I had to deal with the fans and not the jewellery. You'd get knocked out if he jokingly hit you with any of those."

...2004, Gisele was less than pleased when a reporter questioned her relationship with Leonardo DiCaprio during an interview that was supposed to be about her forthcoming film debut in Taxi. Having brazenly suggested the affair might be something of a business arrangement, the supermodel allegedly snapped at the reporter: "I think this is ridiculous. People are poor-spirited. Why can't I love anyone? If I do, can't I be with him because he's famous? It's not my fault if I met someone with such incredible heart. I'm a Cancer, what I prize the most is family, privacy. I never discussed business with my boyfriend, only with my agents. You know what? I don't give a shit."
